Popeye, the 89-year-old spinach-powered mariner, will be launching his first new adventures in more than a decade in new animated originals slated to debut on the brand’s YouTube channel. The new material will come under a pact between WildBrain, a digital kids’ network and studio, and Hearst’s King Features Syndicate, which handles licensing for the Popeyefranchise. WildBrain will create new animated content in the “squash-and-stretch” animation style of Popeye, in collaboration with King Features.
⠀
It’s worth noting that King Features is focusing on YouTube and digital platforms to serve as Popeye’s anchor — not TV.
⠀
In the last month, Popeye’s digital channels including on YouTube and other social platforms generated more than 3.2 million minutes of video viewing, according to King Features. The brand also recently redesigned its website, popeye.com, with a new logo and interactive features, as well as 9.8 million followers on Facebook.
⠀
King Features and WildBrain announced the Popeye pact Tuesday at Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. Popeye the Sailor was created by cartoonist E.C. Segar as a character in King Features’ “Thimble Theatre” comic strip in 1929. The sailor man has since appeared in numerous TV, movie, theatrical, video-game and digital adaptations, including a 1980 live-action film starring Robin Williams.

Teen years turn into adulthood and I was a young wife of 19 weighing in at a whopping 133 lbs. I had no clue how to cook ANYTHING! My mother had always been a very good cook (except those veggies 🤢) I had never shown interest in learning because most times she was cooking something I would turn my nose up at 😖 Even if she was frying chicken 🐔 she would have pinto beans, or something green and mushy 🥦 that kept me away from the learning! So now having my own kitchen 👩‍🍳 I had no earthly idea what to do in it 🤷‍♀️! I decorated it cute ☺️ and made sure it had all kinds of things I would never use in it! I had a full set of matching pots 🍳 crock pot, salad shooter 🥗 and a refrigerator ❄️ full of left over Chinese food 🥠containers 🥡and expired milk 🥛! I had reached out to my mother 👩‍👦 for some tips or help, I didn’t even know how to go grocery shopping 🛒 The fried chicken 🍗 catastrophe of 2006 is a story for another time! So needless to say we ate out A LOT🍟🍕. Mr. Tammy 😯 at the time learned how to grill 🥩 and I learned how to dump bushes baked beans in a pot! And as I have mentioned time and time again...veggies 🥦make me gag🤢, no lie🤢, serious gag🤢 kinda gag when I think about some of them🤮! I had married a man who would eat Popeye ⚓️(he kinda resembled Popeye himself) ⚓️Spinach directly out of the can... no heat or seasoning needed! So imagine my face when I watched him do that 🤮! (This could be why he did not last as Mr. Tammy for long!)(that’s another story also!) #adultingisstupid#suzyhomemaker#kitchencatastrophe#cookinglesson#ihatethegrocerystore#popeye#mrtammy#testhusband#blind#youngdumbandbroke#eatout#junkfoodjunkie#prekids#abetterme#abettertammy#tammyzaladonis#tamz#tz#northcarolina#youngwife#livelifehappy#bekindalways#prechildren#tacobell#eatbetter#learningnewthings#learningtocook#mamatried#mamascooking#30hashtags
